I. Introduction
1. Research background
oDiscriminatory factors in exposure to environmentally hazardous substances and health impact
ㅇ Harmful effects on health from environmentally hazardous substances occur not only from the physicochemical properties and concentrations of the substances but also from exposure levels, pathways, and receptors of the substances that affect the manifestation of health effects through the complex combination of individual and social factors.
o In order to achieve environmental justice, a system to manage harmful materials which is based on the principles of environmental justice needs to be introduced.

2. Research purpose and content
o Purpose of the research
